Opening - First, I would like to opening in appreciation forf Bryan actually covering my review with me this year versus last year's approach. However, the chain of events perfectly fit the profile of research proven discriminatory bias and retaliation which produces a hostile work environment. This year's performance review is just another link in the chain. This is the only reasonable and logical explanation for the subjective subtle degrading management evaluations under Tom Banholzer and Bryan Stevenson, in the midst of objectively proven performance year over year.
